Aww don't be like that. Seriously dude, give it a miss. Just go to
any rural town in Australia and you should be able to pick up a
scrubber no worries. Chicks who ride bikes are feral.

I live in a rural town, and can't even pick me up a scrubber!

Imagine what a tipped over tractor-trailer formerly
full of potatoes looks like.
Not half as messy as a truckload of oranges.
Or a hovercraft full of eels. -- Tanuki on ASR

That's because you keep inviting them back to your place to see your 3.9
meter tool.

I think you're drawing a pretty long bow with that leap of logic.

The two girls in one pic looked like they were at the wrong end of a
hard century or something. YMMV. I remember the women who came on rides
I organised as being fresher in the face.

If you want to post this sort of pic, you'd post a bright cheerful face,
but as I said, YMMV.

In my experience. any recreational bicycle ride wasa good place to meet
other single people. I guess it depended on your style and interests as
to which worked best for you.

If you want the girls then go horse riding, cycling is generally to
hard from what i've seen and they are often a lot slower so you tend to
do a lot of waiting. Mind you there are some fast ones around but they
generally have some fast guys nearby.

It's nothing a decent shower can't fix. Diamonds in the rough :-)

Country towns don't have any scrubbers Lotte. With an unmarried young male
to female ratio of 5:1, all the chicks are highly desirable babes.

As are most of the livestock.

Actually, having found out about Fake Steve Jobs yesterday, I'm
thinking of bike helmet girl. Yummy.

When some other esteemed editor reposts this, it'll be the Periodic

I'm still having a difficult time seeing how a picture of two tired

My lovely wife advises going on a weekend gig with this organisation:

http://www.conservationvolunteers.com.au/

I've been on to a couple of them, and the female:male ratio is about
5:1. And they're generally sweet, dedicated, energetic young things
too. ;-)

Seperate issues.
One was a choice of graphic for marketting.
Tother was a question "why are they organising it"
